The question of dividing Alturas
county is waking up the Wood River
section, which is opposed to division.
The divisionists argue that the coun
ty embraces too large section, and
by dividing it the burdens of the peo-
pie would be lightened. As it is now,
the mileage OF officials foots up enor-
mously, and distances to the county
seat greatly Inconvenience the people
who are not so fortunate as to be
residents of Wood River, or other
points in the vicinity of the county
seat. The anti-divisionists argue that
the county ought to hold together un-
til its enormous debt is paid The
debt is constantly increasing, and SO
long as Aturas remains as large as it
now is, it will continue to require a
powerful lot' of steam to run the
county machinery. Division would
be better for the people Of all sections
of the county, outside of Wood River
and better for the whole Territory
with the exception Of the WOOD
River section, which rules the desti-
MICS of the county, and with very
little outside assistance can rule or
all Territorial questions. Alturas i.
clothed with too much power for one
county. The members Of the Legs
iature from that county are pledged
to oppose division.

THE ball giving in Centerville last
Friday night by Sheriff G. c. Havird,
was just little ahead of any dance
ever given in the county. The heavy
storm and bad roads kept great
many from attending who were pre-
pared to go, and would have been
there if the weather and roads had
been at all favorable. The party from
this pIaceGust even forty were de
termned to 90, storm or no storm,
and did 90, and seven slelghs pull
ed out about two o'clock. The ball
opened early in the evening, after the
dancers partook of a supper at Mr.
and Mrs. Chris Meffert's hotel, and a
better one has never been spread in
the county. This was the unanimous
verdict of all who were there. The
merriment of the dance was kept up
until midnight, when all marched &c
the dining room, and made a second
assault on the heavily laden tables
After supper the dance was resumed
with increased merriment, and kept
up until after daylight The dancers
then made another charge on the
dining room, and again regaled then
appetites, and after an hour or two OF
social converse again repaired to the
dance hall and tripped the light fan
tastic until nearly eleven o'clock Mr.
Havird and Mr.. and Mrs. Meier
spared no pains nor expense to MAKE
the affair as enjoyable as possible
and they succeeded admirably II
making everybody happy Inc oa'
was largely attended, notwithstanding
the stormy weather and bad roads
Several more would have ATTENDED
from this place if conveyaneeS coui'
have been procured. Every team II

by very decided majority. 1t

school money shall he apportioned
among the districts, and the other
to be apportioned per capita, aud that
the Commissioners shall, levy a tax of
not less than SIX mills, nor more than
ten mills, for scho j purposes, and
that all the school trustees shall be
elected on the same day IN each year
first Saturday in September. The
bill was opposed, of course, by all
large districts. | see the papers
throughout the Territory are com
planning that the members have not
furnished them with any copies of
bills as introduced in the legislature,
and as this appl es to me | will say
in explanation that owing to the close
f,tedness Of the Secretary Of the
Territory, we are not allowed but a
very limited amount Of printing, and
consequently were supplied with only
enough to supply our desks. And
further would say this is the Legis-
lature OF amendments, and all bills
that come into the House, by the time
they get through, and ready for pas
sage, the introducer himself would
not recognize them. While in thi:
connection | would say that would

In compliance with the request of the So
ciety, we submit the following with regard
to the condition and management of the
Ladies' Relief Association" in this city for
the winter and spring organization, closing
April 5, 1887 Owing TO the fact that the
fall Of 1886 was mild one and work plen-
ty, the Society resolved to hold meetings
monthly, or as special necessities required
attention:
No. cf meetings held, I.
Amount of coal discussed, As, 070 lbs.
Cash paid cut, $1,000.
Aid has been extended by the Society
through its various committees, to 80 fami
lies. Reports of our proteges placed by US
in the "Erring's Women's Home in Chica
60 are very encouraging.
The foregoing, small as it may seem, is
substantially all that has been found neces-
sary to do for the relief of the destitute Of
our city. The numerous industries of our
town furnish so many avenues of self.sup-
port that comparatively few have been
found to require aid The citizens have
generously responded to all calls for cloth
ing and money, and with the carload of coal
donated to us in the early winter, the Socie
ty has been enabled to do worthy and
christian work. The Society stands ad-
journed until the first Tuesday in December,
unless called to a special meeting by order
of the president. Mrs. F. F. BULL, Pres

ALEXANDER MITCHELL,

The death of Alexander Mitchell, the
Milwaukee millionaire and by millions the
richest man In the northwest, revives mem
cries of an epislde In the financial history
of Illinois forty odd years ago, that will
bear rehearsal. II was soon after the great
bank crash of 1898, and after the whole vile
brood of Michigan wildcat banks had gone
up in smoke, that one George Smith, an
emfgre from Scotland, landed In Chicago,
and having few thousand dollars In hard
cash. opened broker office and general
note shaving establishment. AS all paper
money, good AS we'll as bad, was at that
time equally In disfavor, Smith made a
rich thing of buying such paper as he
knew 20 be good at an enormous discount,
and having connection with the wealthy
(ScotCh) house Of Strachan Il Scott In New
York, was also able to sell to the Chicago
merchants exchange on New York at the
unconscionable figure of TO 6 per cent
With extraordinary success from such
small beginnings, MS ambition espireu TO
the ownership of bank; but as neither
Illinois or any neighboring state at the
time could grant bank charters, he finally
prevailed upon the Them territorial legisla-
ture of Wisconsin to grant him charter
for marine and fire insurance company,
TO be located In Milwaukee, with an i'm
portant clause allowing the Institution to
receive deposits and deal in exchange.
Under this charter the Wisconsin Marine
and Fire Insurance Company, nominally
located at Milwaukee, was opened In George
Smiths broker shop In Chicago. To give
IL a local habitation, however, an Office was
opened In little wooden shanty Ia the out,
skirts of Chicago, with shingle over the

1t is very fortunate for the Professor that

judging from the subject matter of the

In his place, that MIR. Harvey should be re.
quested by the Board of Education, as
Superintendent of City Schools to make
report of Mr.. Tufts work and that the said
board allowed it to be placed upon the
Public Records of the schools?
| do not see that Mr.. Harvey's report
shows any personal malice; and think that
1t merely, in a scholarly and business like
manner, enumerates the deficiencies in Mr..
Tufts school work that were noticeable in
Kalamazoo and are noticeable In Ottawa.
The Professor has no need to say that,
"the result was left" when the Superin-
tendents report so plainly stated nine good
reasons why he did SO. Neither is 1t neces-
sary for him to explain why he left Kala-
mazoo when Supt. French's communica-
